Your LP gas system requires virtually no maintenance. Simply turn the flow valves off.
Do not attempt to drain the system.
The generator requires the same type of attention as any engine. A full schedule of
maintenance requirements is given in the generator manual.
Your roof air conditioners should be operated occasionally to ensure the compressor seals
remain lubricated. The dash air should be turned on for a few minutes while the engine is
running.
There is a 12 VDC power switch on your stairwell that shuts off 12 VDC power from the
house batteries. By setting this switch to the OFF position, you can avoid draining these
batteries. Be sure all batteries are fully charged before long-term storage.
If the coach is stored for a short period (two weeks or less) plug it into external power.
This will retain a full charge on the coach batteries. For extended periods, disconnect the
cables on the batteries.
WARNING: Be sure all batteries are fully charged before long-term storage.

One of the most common and expensive problems that can arise during storage is moisture
damage. When in storage, leaks can go undetected, condensation can collect, and temperature
extremes can increase moisture damage. Your entire coach is vulnerable. Fabrics can become
mildewed. Cabinetry can swell and split. Walls, if penetrated, can rot and warp. Any of
these problems can be expensive to repair and are not covered by your warranty.
Fortunately, moisture problems can easily be prevented with just a little foresight. There are
three factors that cause or contribute to moisture problems. All of these are best controlled
if you keep your coach indoors.
WARNING: Outdoor storage of a coach is not recommended for long-periods of time.
Water's first path of entry is a leak. Leaks obviously open the walls and interior to penetration
by rain, snow, or dew. Therefore, inspect the coach for leaks before storing it, and check it
periodically during storage.
